Twinnie Exercise Time!

Baby Ellie and Baby Marcus on their playmat. Ellie practices holding her head up while Marcus perfects the ancient art of toe-eating. Ellie did roll-over, before and after I was recording. She’s been going from belly-to-back for about a week and a half now. Marcus can go from back-to-belly but not often.

Timeline of a cold in a closed environment

Published August 30, 2009

Cold season begins…

marcus_neb_30aug09

Wednesday – 12-yr old son is sniffling and blowing his nose

Thursday morning – 12-yr old son is coughing like an emphesema patient so I take him to the walk-in, antibiotics and albuterol are prescribed (damn inhaler is $45 AFTER insurance)

Friday – Boy twin is coughing and girl twin is sniffling

Saturday morning – Take twins to the walk-in, albutero with nebulizer is prescribed

Saturday night – Vaporizer and heater in the bedroom, twinnies aren’t eating like they should and son one needs to be ‘reminded’ to take his antibiotics — on the up side I think I’m getting enough residual meds that I probably won’t get sick (X crossing fingers X)

Sunday – Twinnies REALLY don’t like the nebulizer and it makes them shake and cry and generally unhappy, not sure it’s worth it — spacing the treatments out a little more, added pedialite to the menu so they are at least getting some liquids, Daddy is coughing… ellie_neb_30aug09

Boy Oh Boy… just can’t wait for school to start so we can go thru this with a different virus every week!

Twinnies are 4-months old!!!

Published August 20, 2009

Ellie and Marcus had their 4-month checkup today and passed with flying colors! They are both happy, healthy little babies!

Statistics:

Ellie
Height	Weight	Head
1′ 11.5″	15 lbs. 15 oz.	42 cm

Marcus
Height	Weight	Head
2′ 0.25″	14 lbs. 5 oz.	42.2 cm

They also had to get 2 shots and an oral vaccine which didn’t go over well. It wasn’t nearly as bad as their 2-month shots but they both cried. Ellie alot more than Marcus again but Marcus seems to be the one who is going to be feverish. I just gave them both another dose of Tylenol with bedtime. Hopefully they won’t be sick like they were last time.
